BCB Elections: Abdur Razzaq Submits Nomination to Represent Khulna Division
Razzaq was appointed selector in January 2021. Razzaq today purchased the nomination form for the director's election as he eyes a chance to represent the Khulna Division in the BCB boardroom. Twenty-five directors (12 from clubs, 10 from divisions and districts, two nominated by the NSC, and one from Category Three, i.e., representatives of other organizations) will elect the president.
Former national left-arm spinner Abdur Razzaq resigned from the selection committee on Saturday to participate in the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) elections scheduled for October 6. "I have resigned from the selector position to participate in the BCB elections," Razzaq told the Cricbuzz website after submitting his nomination papers from Category 1. "I have served this country as a player and a selector, and now look forward to facing the new challenge ahead by joining the Board of Directors if elected."

The final list of 191 voters were announced by the BCB Election Commission on September 26 for the forthcoming Board of Directors election. The final list comprised councilors of 15 clubs based in Dhaka who were left out of the draft list published on September 23rd as they were being probed by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) on grounds of anomalies.

The Election Commissioner also stated that these 15 clubs were granted councilor positions because they had not yet been convicted by the ACC. Furthermore, councilor positions were also granted for five districts—Sylhet, Bogura, Pabna, Sirajganj, and Naogaon—although the councilor position for Narsingdi district remained vacant. The Election Commission also retained the councilor position of former BCB president Faruk Ahmed because it was satisfied with his explanation for the delayed submission.
On September 25th, the Election Commission heard 38 objections submitted regarding the draft voter list at the BCB office. The BCB has started distributing nomination forms for the board of directors elections from Saturday at the BCB office between 10 am and 5 pm, while the candidates will have to submit their forms the next day (September 28).
